I’ve blogged about various experiences of online learning I’ve taken part in over the years and wanted to reflect on the most recent one. Coursera’s three week Introduction to Ableton Live. Learning more about learning is one of my personal goals this year. And I find writing out loud to be useful tool in thinking.… Continue reading A ‘free’ online learning experience

The week ahead 23 Feb 2015
First, I’ll note that even taking the time to write these short ‘note to self’ type blog posts each week takes time and is harder to do than I expected. Like so many priorities, the long term important things often battle with the short term urgent things. And that’s in a culture where working open… Continue reading The week ahead 23 Feb 2015
The week ahead: 2 Feb 2015
What’s happening this week? My number one goal (P1) for this week is solving offline friendly mobile analytics for Webmaker App, while keeping other projects ticking along adequately. Here’s to a productive week.
Weeknotes: 30 Jan 2015
I don’t want these weeknotes to be a complete ‘done list’, as we have enough of those internally. This just a quick reflection on the extra objectives set for the week. I moved outside into the MVP garden office (it’s still looking mostly like a shed). This was thanks to the magical powers of powerline… Continue reading Weeknotes: 30 Jan 2015
Webmaking in the UK, and face-to-face events
One of this week’s conversations was with Nesta, about Webmaker usage within the UK and whether or not we have data to support the theory that face-t0-face events have an impact getting people involved in making on the web. These are two topics that interest me greatly. I’m basically copying some of my notes into… Continue reading Webmaking in the UK, and face-to-face events

From 2014 to 2015
I’ve had a couple of weeks off work and it’s been a good time to reflect on the year past, and the one ahead. And before I dive back into things on Friday morning, I wanted to get this post published. It’s a long one, and writing it was more for my benefit than yours… Continue reading From 2014 to 2015
Fundraising testing update
I wrote a post over on fundraising.mozilla.org about our latest round of optimization work for our End of Year Fundraising campaign. We’ve been sprinting on this during the Mozilla all-hands workweek in Portland, which has been a lot of fun working face-to-face with the awesome team making this happen. You can follow along with the… Continue reading Fundraising testing update
